Free SMART Goals Practice Worksheet

Description

Clearly define what you want to achieve. The goal should be detailed and fully comprehendible to anyone who has a basic understanding of the domain. An example would be, "I want to lose [Amount of Weight] by [Date]".

Ensure that your goal can be quantified. This will help you to track your progress and stay motivated. An example would be, "I will measure my progress by tracking my weight every [Frequency]".

Your goal should be challenging but it should also be attainable with the resources available. Unrealistic goals are discouraging and not helpful. An example would be, "I believe that losing [Amount of Weight] by [Date] is achievable for me".

The goal should align with your broader objectives and values. It should fit into your lifestyle and be worth your time. An example would be, "Losing weight will help me live a healthier lifestyle and increase my self-esteem".

Every goal needs a deadline. This creates urgency and prompts action. An example would be, "By [Date], I aim to achieve my target weight of [Desired Weight]".
